Seems to me to be more flexible to have a file which one can move around, rather than to be bound to a particular partition.

Why? Are you planning on moving around the 1.1 GB squashfs file between partitions, too?

Actually my just over a year old off-the-shelf 250GB system is beginning to look a bit small when one looks at the 1000 GB off-the-shelf systems coming on offer in the local supermarkets:!: Coming from an 8GB system in danger of cluttering up the disk with unwanted partitions

Seriously, those instructions say the "live-rw" file just has to be at the root of a partition that can be found and read. It's not tied to any particular partition.
